Alright, everyone, this is chapter where the Fall begins. Just don't expect a lot of action in this chapter.

"She was…a robot?" Samuel asked.
"Whoa," Rachael said.
Suddenly, a picture of a red screen with a black queen chess piece appeared on every monitor in Vale, Mistral, Vacuo and Atlas.
"This…is not a tragedy," a young woman's voice said over the speakers, "This…was not an accident. This is what happens when you hand over your trust, your safety, your children, to men who claim to be our guardians…But are, in reality, nothing more than men. Our academies' headmasters wield more power than most armies…and one was audacious enough to control both. They cling to this power in the name of peace…and yet, what do we have here?"
"A bunch of robot parts," William said.
"Not just parts of a robot, but of a poor soul," Samuel said.
"One nation's attempt at a synthetic army…mercilessly torn apart by another's star pupil. What need would Atlas have for a soldier disguised as an innocent little girl? I don't think the Grimm can tell the difference. And what, I ask you, is Ozpin teaching his students? First a dismemberment, now this? Huntsmen and Huntresses should carry themselves with honor and mercy…yet I have witnessed neither. Perhaps Ozpin felt as though defeating Atlas in the tournament would help people forget his colossal failure to protect Vale when the Grimm invaded its streets." the woman said, continuing her speech, "Or perhaps, this was his message to the tyrannical dictator that has occupied an unexpecting kingdom with armed forces. Honestly…I haven't the slightest clue as to who is right and who is wrong. But I know that the existence of peace is fragile, and the leaders of our kingdoms conduct their business with iron gloves. As someone who hails from Mistral…I can assure you, the situation there is…equally undesirable."
"So she's from Mistral," Samuel thought.
"Our kingdoms are on the brink of war, yet we, the citizens are left in the dark! So, I ask you…when the first shots are fired…who do you think you can trust?" the woman asked.
The pictures disappeared.
"What was that all about?" Samuel asked.
"I don't know," Max's sign displayed, "But I think that we're all in big trouble."
The warning sirens began to blare.
"Now what's this about!?" Rachael asked.
"Grimm…" Selkie said, "They're invading the city."
"Alert. Incoming Grimm attack." the warning system said, "Threat level: 9."
"That is not good," Danielle said.
"Why?" Samuel asked, "How bad is that?"
"Very, very bad," Danielle replied.
"Please seek shelter in a calm and orderly manner." the system said.
Lots of people began to flee from the stadium.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please…" General Ironwood said from the booth, "there is no need for panic-."
Abruptly, a huge Nevermore that had landed on the stadium's shield screeched out.
"Need to panic, really need to panic!" William cried.
"What the heck is that doing here?!" Danielle asked.
"I don't know," Samuel said, "Team, let's head outside."
Samuel and Team SWRD ran up to head out of the arena.
"No, wait!" Selkie said.
"Come on!" Max's sign displayed as he, Selkie, BCST and Sabrina followed after SWRD.

Team SWRD left the arena and saw the incoming army of Grimm, words couldn't describe it's size.
"Oh…my…" Danielle said in shock.
"And I thought the last attack was big," William said.
"There's no way we'll be able to stop that," Rachael said.
Samuel just watched as the Grimm advanced towards the city.
"Are those aircraft coming to help?" Rachael asked as she was pointing to some ships heading to Vale's landing area.
Rachael's question was soon answered as she watched Grimm, with her Scroll's camera, flood out of the transports.
"Oh no," Rachael said, cupping her hands over her mouth.
"Let me see," William said, grabbing Rachael's Scroll.
Then William saw unfamiliar soldiers and a man with red hair walked out of one of the ships.
"The White Fang," William said.
"How do you know that?" Danielle asked.
"I saw a few news reports on them, they match the descriptions," William said.
Team SWRD heard a loud roar and saw Griffons flying towards the arena.
"We don't have our weapons!" Rachael said.
"Pull back!" Samuel said.
The team ran back into the arena, and stopped to plan.
"Guys, we need to leave, now!" Rachael said.
"No, we have to stay and fight!" William said.
"Did you see the attack!?" Rachael said, "We stand no chance of survival!"
"Samuel, what do we do?" Danielle asked.
Max and others arrived as soon as Danielle asked her question.
"*Sigh*…well…it's a tough choice," Samuel said, "So I'll let you make your own choices, I'm not going to force anything onto you. If you want to leave, you can, I won't hold it against you. But I'm staying, and if anyone else wants to, they can."
Everyone else was silent for a bit.
"I don't know about you, but I'm going to stay with our leader," Danielle said, "I'm in."
"You can count me in," William said.
"Ah, what the heck," Rachael said, "It's an occupational hazard."
The team put their hands in the middle.
"Ready?" the team asked, "Team SWRD!"
"SWRD," Selkie said.
"What is it?" Samuel asked.
"We should get moving," Selkie said, "The other students are moving out."
"Let's go," Samuel said.
The team ran down to the battle arena and made their way towards the exit, following the other students. But Danielle saw something that caught her eye.
"You know, she deserves another chance," Danielle said.
Danielle picked up a discarded backpack and put Penny's upper torso and compacted weapons in there, she then put the backpack over her jetpack.
"Just hope it doesn't weigh me down," Danielle thought.
"Danielle, come on!" Samuel called.
Danielle followed the rest of the group and met up with them at a transport Max had put aside.
"Alright, everyone," Max's sign displayed, "We need to keep any more of those ships from landing at Beacon."
"So we're heading to the landing area?" Samuel asked.
"No, you're heading to a ridge that overlooks the whole area," Max's sign displayed, "But Selkie, Team BCST and I are needed elsewhere ASAP. So it's up to you four to make sure nothing else lands."
"Got it," Samuel said.
"But there's too much going on all over the school, so we'll have to find a safe spot to land." Selkie said.

The transport landed in a safe area and the group walked out.
"So," Rachael said, "What happens after all of this, if we survive?"
"I don't know, but I'm sure we'll find out when we get there," Danielle said.
"Max," Samuel said.
Max turned his gaze towards Samuel.
"I just wanted to let you know, you're like a father to me…to all of us," Samuel said.
"And you are like children to me," Max's sign displayed.
Max and Samuel shook hands.
"Until we meet again," Samuel said.
"Until we meet again," Max's sign displayed.
Team BCST, Max, Selkie and Sabrina ran off to go battle Grimm where they were needed.
"Okay, SWRD, get your weapons and prepare for battle," Samuel said.
Each team member pulled out their Scroll and called their lockers. Each member pulled out their weapon and did a cool 'ready' pose.
"Team SWRD, remember, we're all that stands between our enemies and Beacon," Samuel said, "So nothing lands, understand?"
Team SWRD nodded.
"Okay then…" Samuel said, "Time to protect our home."

Meanwhile, the Black Talon was approaching.
"Sir, the White Fang has begun the assault," Coros said.
"Excellent, right on schedule," Vandal said.
Vandal looked out the window and observed the battle taking place.
"Hmm, much more Grimm and White Fang than anticipated," Vandal said, "Perhaps we won't need everyone here."
"What are you saying, mate?" Graviton asked.
"Just that the White Fang did most of our work for us. Attention, squads five through twelve, return to base immediately." Vandal said, "Now, to find those kids."
The designated squads turned back to their base.

That was chapter 33, now I hope you're all excited for the next there chapters, because things are going to get crazy.

Powerhouse out.
